Introduction

P4B533-E Series motherboards is the most complete motherboard for Pentium 4. In addition to supporting DDR 266, the P4B533-E features high-speed interfaces USB2.0 and RAID ATA133 (optional). Optional onboard 6-channel audio, 1394 and LAN also ensure you get the most value out of your Pentium 4 system.

Enhanced 533MHz Front-Side-Bus

The P4B533-E supports all socket 478 P4 processors including Willamette and Northwood up to 2.4GHz+. The 533MHz FSB increases bandwidth and improves overall system performance.

DDR memory support

The ASUS P4B533-E and the Intel 845E chipset unlock the value of Pentium 4 technology with high-bandwidth DDR SDRAM. Supporting up to 2GB of PC2100/PC1600 and a peak bandwidth of 2.1GB/s, the P4B533 enables enhanced performance in multimedia applications, video, audio, 3D games and more.

ATA133 RAID 0/1 (optional)

An onboard ATA133 RAID controller supports the latest hard drives and provides optimal performance options.

6-Channel Audio (optional)

The P4B533-E uses an onboard C-Media audio controller, letting you enjoy 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.

6 USB 2.0 ports

The ASUS P4B533-M features USB 2.0 and 1394 (optional) support. USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity specification for peripheral devices and features transfer speeds of up to 480 Mb/s, while 1394 is ideal for multimedia devices such as DV cameras.

Intel 10/100Mbps LAN (optional)

An Intel LAN PHY ensures convenient connectivity to your network, SOHO, and broadband.

Quiet and Efficient Fan Operation

ASUS Q-Fan™ intelligently adjusts CPU fan speeds according to system loading. The result is maximum fan power when you need it most and quiet operation when you don't.

System Voice Warnings

An unique onboard speech IC chip and ASUS POST Reporter™ provides clear explanations of system errors for quick and easy optimization. The P4B533-E also includes Winbond Voice Editor allowing users to add customized system voice warnings and multi-language support.

Flexible Power Connectivity

The ASUS EZ Plug™ power connector lets you use your existing power supply and eliminates the need to buy a special ATX 12V power supply necessary to support your P4 CPU.

Personalized Boot Up Logos

Get rid of boring boot up screens. ASUS MyLogo2™ personalizes and adds style to your system with customizable boot logos with up to 256 colors.

ASUS Multi-Language BIOS

ASUS provides friendly localized BIOS setup menu to help you configure your system as easy as possible.

Expandability

The P4B533-E is ultra-expandable with 6 standard PCI interfaces and connections for 6 USB 2.0 ports.
